Crimes of the Future

2002, 107 min, R

In the not too distant future, a beloved performance artist (Viggo Mortensen) embraces the Accelerated Evolution Syndrome—by constantly growing and displaying new and mutated organs in his body. His chilling theatrics have attracted the attention of government agencies and shadowy forces interested in the next phase of human development. Master director David Cronenberg’s return to filmmaking, after a seven year absence, summons up a challenging and often very unsettling vision of how mankind has to adapt in a changing world. Lea Seydoux, Kristen Stewart and Scott Speedman co-star.
